Print Recipe
Servings 1 pancake

Ingredients

  • 1 russet potato
  • 1 egg
  • Smoked salmon
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese + another few tbsp for the egg
  • 1 avocado
  • A few squeezes of lemon
  • Everything but the bagel seasoning
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Chopped chives
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel your potato and grate. Add grated potato to the center of a clean tea towel and squeeze all the excess water from the potato.
  • Add few glugs of oil to the pan and then sprinkle grated potato all over, creating an even layer. Add parmesan and chives to help hold everything together. Using a spatula, push everything to it all stays together in the pan and becomes one large pancake.
  • Cook in medium to low heat for about 5 min or until the bottom of the pancake is browned and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 min or so.
  • Remove pancake from skillet and set aside. Meanwhile bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling use a spoon to create a whirlpool. Carefully, crack egg and add to the water. I like to add my egg to a small bowl first and then slide it in for an easier drop. Let the pot come to a boil again, and cook for a few more min. Remove from water and set aside.
  • Add avocado to a bowl along with red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Top pancake with avocado, egg and smoked salmon. Season with everything but the bagel seasoning. Enjoy!
